Fitting and everyday care
A digger shaking along a rutted haul road gives its battery a hard life. Keep a spare pair charged in the workshop during harvest. Ignoring loose cradle clamps lets vibration destroy the plates.

lead-acid: how it works
Lead-acid batteries are almost entirely recyclable. Flooded batteries handle hot engine bays well. Pour in only distilled water, and only once the charge has finished.
Same size and layout
If you prefer another make, these fit the same space with the same terminal side.

Frequently asked questions
Can I identify this battery by its barcode?
The EAN for this product is 4016987145715. It is usually printed on the label or the packaging.
Will the Varta M6 replace my old battery?
Compare four things: the voltage, the amp-hours, the outer dimensions and which side the plus post is on. If all match, or capacity is slightly higher, it is a suitable replacement.
Can I order a battery for trucks and farm machinery at baterias.online?
Only a few minutes once you have checked the figures and the code.
What if I do not know my battery reference?
Look for the printed code on the battery label, then search on baterias.online for the brand followed by that code, for example Varta M6.

Quick compatibility checklist
- ✓ The technology is lead-acid. Keep the same type as the original, and confirm your charger offers a matching profile.
- ✓ Dimensions to compare: 513 × 223 × 223 mm. Do not forget the base ledge, which the hold-down clamp grips on many vehicles.
- ✓ Stored energy reserve: 170Ah. Going much lower than your current battery can leave you short on cold mornings or long stops.
